[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#949433: No documentation included for the assembler/linker

[Pedro Gimeno]

Package: sdcc-doc
Version: 3.8.0+dfsg-3

This problem was previously reported as bug 198376 "sdcc includes no aslink documentation"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=198376
but I was advised to submit it as a new bug rather than reopening the old one.

When using 'man sdasz80' (or any other sdasxxxx), the man page says:

        For complete and current  documentation,  refer  to  the  ASxxxx  Cross
        Assembler Documentation, available in /usr/share/doc/sdcc-doc/aslink.

But when installing package sdcc-doc, that file or directory does not exist.

As a workaround, the file with the documentation can be obtained with:

cd /tmp
apt-get source sdcc
cp sdcc-*/sdas/doc/asmlnk.txt <somewhere>
